It's been a concern in the past, too. The distant past.
In 1899, Stanford University limited female enrollment to 500 students, apparently out of concern that the university would dilute the men's education. Not sure when that restriction was lifted, but it's certainly not in place today.

- sqs 17y agoThe restriction was lifted in 1933, I believe. Some of Jane Stanford's other requirements were 1) free tuition and 2) no summer school, since students should get out and see the real world during the summer. I'm glad they let more women in, although I wish they had left the free tuition requirement in. :)
